Bitcoin hovered around $77,700 after a brief drop below $77,000, with analysts pointing to a leverage flush rather than a deeper downturn.
Bitcoin BTC$75,321.10 traded near $77,733 by midday Hong Kong time, little changed over the past 24 hours, according to CoinDesk data. The price slid as low as $76,685 and failed to hold above $78,000 during U.S. trading hours earlier.

🚨 Bitcoin holds firm near $77,700 despite $200M liquidation wave! Not a crash, but a leverage flush amid rising U.S. Treasury yields & geopolitical tensions. Will $75K-$77K support hold or is a bigger move coming? 🔥 #Bitcoin #Crypto #UhurUtrade

BTC dipping under $77K while the Dow hits all-time highs is wild to me📉 Traditional markets pumping while crypto bleds... classic. Is this the shakeout before the real run? #Bitcoin

Fade the consensus at your own peril. BTC consolidating around $76k-$77k is healthy structure, not a dead trend. $100k is just one macro liquidity flush away. Next move: Accumulating key support, ignoring the daily noise. #Ky #Bitcoin #BTC #Crypto #CryptoTwitter pic.twitter.com/bROlWdYYB2

Bitcoin has dropped below the $60,000 mark, ending months of consolidation and pushing traders toward protective options positions. Exchange inflows have surged while spot ETF outflows continue.
Bitcoin surged above $80,000 for the first time since January during early Asian trading on May 4, 2026, reaching highs around $80,600. The cryptocurrency later pulled back to around $79,000 following reports of an Iranian missile strike on a U.S. warship, which the U.S. denied. Geopolitical risks near the Strait of Hormuz overshadowed strong ETF inflows supporting the rally.
